Need a new email marketing software

by Jonathan Smith

Hello Warriors,

I have always been able to ask for help here and get suggestions from fellow warriors. I really appreciate this forum. I earn money here, make connections and live a life most only dream of.

Today is my 300th post here and I am excited about that 300 mark.

I have been using aweber for a while now and to me it just got a little old. The features are there but not very easy to use. Do you have a suggestion on another email marketing program that I can start using?

I have the need for organization and to me aweber is not too organized.

I know of many email programs but I have only used aweber.

What are your favs and why.

Thanks for your help...

      Just remember that if you do decide to change your
      autoresponder provider it can be a LOT of hassle.

      E.g. Exporting and importing your list data, changing all
      your webform codes, learning how to use a new system,
      etc.

      (I've moved from 1ShoppingCart to AWeber to Infusionsoft
      to iContact and I am now using a self-hosted autoresponder
      with ActiveCampaign).

      So firstly, don't rush into changing your service provider
      without realizing the implications.

      Remember the positives of AWeber - the main one being
      that it is usually the first autoresponder to be integrated
      with any other cool software like membership sites, etc.

      Their support and tutorial database is excellent too.

      Sure, their interface has got a bit clunky and the change
      in their editor has been a royal PITA.

      I haven't found a perfect autoresponder yet - they all
      have their pros and cons.

      Dedicated to mutual success,

      Shaun

    If you switch to another autoresponder provider, you will have to re verify your lists as most ESPs will not accept mailing without re verification. So you are pretty much locked up with aweber, unless you work around with some ESP that lets you import and start from where you left in aweber.

    There are 2 hosted platforms that are much better in terms of user interface and list organization. Pm me for details.

    Thanks everyone!

    I think I am going to just stick it out with Aweber and send them my designer feedback on what they should do to better their current system.

    You would think that they could do better being that they are a huge company. Guess it is up to me to make the suggestions. haha.

    Wishing success to you all!

    Just to clarify something bobby_shahzad stated (he alluded to this as well). If you have a list you want to move to us and want to avoid the reconfirmation process, assuming the list is healthy, this can be waived. There is of course a strict screening process for this. You just have to contact our support department and ask about this. As well, you can always ping me directly for information or help.

    Regards,
    jim

    I use GetResponse and their customer service is second to none!

    I don't know whether you can swap over your lists from place to another though and would recommend checking this out first as I have always been with them and haven't needed to swap providers before.

    Hope this helps in anyway Johnathan

    All the best!!!

    Given the warning / issues mentioned here, if you still decide to switch, I would go with GetResponse.
